About these time zones
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard used to regulate clocks worldwide and the reference for aviation, weather forecasting, computing and science. It never changes for daylight saving time, and every time zone is defined as an offset from it — for example, India Standard Time is UTC+5:30.
Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC-8. California, Washington, most of Oregon and Nevada, most of British Columbia and Baja California use PST in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Yukon left Pacific Time in 2020 and now stays on UTC-7 all year.
